The BUZZ
Video :: Bill Blass Fashion Show Fall 2006
Designer Michael Volbracht continued to carry the Bill Blass legacy by presenting a collection not only for the ladies who lunch, but one with an appeal for their daughters as well ... But what captured our heart the most were those silk crepe cocktail dresses. So chic and classic. more...
Video :: Diesel Fashion Show Fall 2006
Questions addressed at the Diesel show included but were not limited to: 1. Can you mix bandannas and ostrich feathers? 2. Satin and sporty caps? 3. Eli Cash from Royal Tenenbaum's Chic with Ninja Headbands? 4. Plunging necks and Male Models? 5. Grace Jones and David Bowie? more...
Video :: Zang Toi Fashion Show Fall 2006
Zang Toi truly created a winter collection. Winter is usually a time when we tuck our fabulous clothes in the back of the closet and pull out the galoshes, long johns and parkas while dreaming of the spring lines. If you are a fan of tailored gray suits and fur trimmed everything ... this is going to be your winter. more...
Video :: Kai Milla Fashion Show Fall 2006
In the Grand Ballroom of the New Yorker Hotel Kai Milla, a rookie to fashion week, showed her Fall 2006 collection to a star studded audience, including her husband Stevie Wonder. The collection started out strong with white and black looks dominating the runway?¬¢‚Äö?ᬮ¬¨¬? with a Matrix sort of feel. more...
Video :: Strenesse Gabriele Strehle Fashion Show Fall 2006
Less is definitely more and that was the case for Gabriele Strehle's collection this season. Strehle is a designer that likes to go against the grain. While many will follow the ultra-femme trend we've been seeing this season, chances are you're going to see a standout in the crowd looking cooler than everyone else. She'll probably be wearing Strenesse. more...
Video :: Jason Wu Fashion Show Fall 2006
Jason softens up professional woman's wear, making it office and cocktail friendly, for those who talk business over martinis. Couture influenced lace politely appears on the trimming of clean satin suits. more...
Video :: Custo Barcelona Fashion Show Fall 2006
Remember how happy we were when logo tees went away? Well, as they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. more...
Video :: Baby Phat Fashion Show Fall 2006
This season Kimora Lee gave us her own take of the classic stewardess uniform. But of course, this being the Baby Phat line, over the top glam came through in every look. more...
Video :: Anna Sui Fashion Show Fall 2006
The Sui girl was very lady like and prim and proper with the matching bags and shoes to prove it. That signature Sui boho was still quite evident as a mix of vintage sixties and roccoco prints appeared on the runway. Little dresses were playfully innocent with their white peter pan collars and starched white cuffs. more...

New York Fashion Week :: Jeremy Scott
Jeremy Scott is the king of 'pop' fashion. Season after season, with whimsical delight and a 'who wears it list' of cultural pop icons: Bjork, Christina Aguilera, Kylie Minogue and Madonna, Scott knows how to put on a show. With an 'I want Candy' soundtrack Scott payed homage to sugar and spice and all things nice (and fattening) with a candy floss collection where nipples were embellished with ice cream cones and the 'snickers' bar logo, albeit changed to 'jeremy', was emblazoned on a short jersey dress. These clothes are not for the faint hearted, they're larger than life, beyond theatrical, and designed for those who love to dress up and play. [David McIntyre] more...
New York Fashion Week :: DDC LAB
Being the second to the last show for the New York Fall 2006 collections, DDC LAB had quite the compromising time slot. By this point in the week editors have been over saturated, socialites have been over stimulated and the PR girls have been over worked. When your clients and customers have run out of fashion patience (yes ... it can happen!) the pressure is twice as strong to put on a show that is innovative and memorable. DDC LAB's debut show, 'Into the Stratosphere', proved to distinguish the design duo as a pair to keep your eyes on. The lights went down and to my great surprise, a mash-up of the Smiths and Radiohead filled the promenade (finally something other than Morningwood and Artic Monkeys!). This set the tone for the futuristic line that asked the audience if we are just "global residents" or whether we're "global rebels"? Caught between technology and combat, the men and women's collection at times looked more like gear rather than attire. Deep purple, grey, muddy green and charcoal was the primary palette for the collection, making it the modern camouflage for urban youth. Floor length 'Warrior' jackets with interrupted lines, jersey rouched dresses and black crepe ruffle tops were just a few of the progressive looks. With fabrics like lycra, silk and rubber, each piece was stylish as well as practical. DDC LAB created looks that are sure to have a cult following from all "global residents" and "global rebels" alike. [Meghan Casey] more...
New York Fashion Week :: Boudicca
The Invisible City was the title of the Boudicca show. The setting was unusually eerie, a studio in the Meatpacking District, had us surrounded by windows and a view of the city's lights. The sky was approaching darkness and so were we. It seemed as if time had stopped, just for that one moment. The melancholy piano music entered the room and Boudicca's visions stepped out. It was a look to the future taken from the past. She was a Victorian gothic from the future filled with subtle hints of eroticism. Jackets and pants were so sharply cut, they should be deemed dangerous. High neck stiff collars held shirts together while leather corset belts mapped out the straight androgynous silhouette of a pant. Men's suitings were exquisitely rendered and tailored, while in the "axis skirt" two straight lines lead to a bustled skirt in Italian striped wool. It's quite important to note that other than just designing clothes for the future, this duo would like to make a difference in the way
clothing is produced as well. Ingeo fiber completed the last look, the first and only man- made fiber produced from 100% annually renewable resources, not oil. The collection triumphed in achieving Boudicca's vision of the girl in the Invisible City, and though she likes to hide her feelings behind all those strong constricting clothes, we all know she still has a heart.

New York Fashion Week :: Strenesse Gabriele Strehle
Less is definitely more and that was the case for Gabriele Strehle's collection this season. Strehle is a designer that likes to go against the grain. While many will follow the ultra-femme trend we've been seeing this season, chances are you're going to see a standout in the crowd looking cooler than everyone else. She'll probably be wearing Strenesse. Gabriele Strehle, a German designer, carries that German aesthetic of strong lines, a refined silhouette, and a neutral color range filled with shots of color. There's this great ingenuity in her white herringbone wool coat over a yellow organza dress. The organza dresses were an electric technicolor dream as they played with the light of the runway. Cashmere coats were voluminous but still held a quiet tailored restraint. Minimalism made it's rare appearance in New York fashion Week and it never looked so good, it's only fitting that it's from Gabriele Strehle. [Rania Abu Eid] more...
